Casa MonoNever Disappoints!Casa Mono is a favorite of mine. The food never fails to impress and delight.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food, Fair ServiceFirst of all, I would like to say the food there was great. We ordered razor clam, squid, scallop , rabbit meat and we love all of them. The only complaint we have is their hostess. We were 10 minutes late (I had a long day walking in New York and can't walk too fast) and hostess said she can't seat us because we are late and it is a "protocol" to prevent her from seating us. "There will be full of people in next twenty minutes", she claimed. So we deiced to seat at bar. The next one to two hours we observed the restaurant and found there are plenty enough seats available.... Overall this is a great place for foodies but don't be late (not even a bit) because it is a "protocol".5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat perfectly sized, innovativeGreat perfectly sized, innovative and flavorful tapas!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always Casa Mono is a wonderfulAs always Casa Mono is a wonderful evening of great food!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWas so delicious - everything!...weWas so delicious - everything!...we had a lamb chop/belly special that was excellent. When the chef overheard my sister ask for two chops instead of belly - he agreed but added that we "didn't know what we were missing!"....we were sold, but the really classy part of the story was that this chef sent over two chops and the lamb belly --- completely unexpected surprise....great energy, great food!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBone marrow was awesome! TheBone marrow was awesome! The place is very small and cramped so this is a 2-3 party place.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMA small but very good placeContrary to what I was led to expect by other reviewers, I found the service to be excellent and friendly. The food places an emphasis on the intense flavoring of dishes with a distinct but not overpowering smokey taste. I did not find the dishes overly salty. While it's true the restaurant is small and noisy, I had no difficulty carrying on a conversation with my dinner companion. The portions seemed reasonably sized and fairly priced. Between the two of us, we ordered five tapas plus dessert and could probably have gotten away with four tapas and dessert and felt completely sated. The glass of wine recommended by our waiter was outstanding. I highly recommend the restaurant for a night of exciting but casual dining.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was exotic and fantastic;The food was exotic and fantastic; going to have to go back and try all new plates.

Determined to go back and try a different selection each time4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is tapas so designedThis is tapas so designed for sharing. Small tables mean that your food comes out only a couple of dishes at a time. Not a problem but be prepared for a little wait between courses. don't forget to order sides - the artichokes and mushrooms were amazing. Food generaly was delicious. We particularly likedthe baby octopus salad and the scallops.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThe tapas there are incredible.The tapas there are incredible.
